doorbell dreams
fingers, long and
short, slender,
stout
brown, prosthetic,
pressing or
stroking,
eliciting a
pneumatic answer,
tips tapping or
striking
the cool round face,
and an aperture,
the dilation of it,
a slide, a swing,
one way or the
other,
even prised open
footwise,
bell circumvented,
ignored, might as
well
climb in the window
if you won’t ring
the bell.
